ON THE QUI YIVE.

The Mall suggests to those who get np benefit performances for local charities hereafter that when the foreign participants take two-thirds of the proceeds the show should be advertised as being for the benefit of the foreigners. When the charity receives two-thirds it might do to use the charity's name as a beneficiary. The one-third usually given to a local charity by wandering showmen is nothing but a fair price for a very good advertisement, and should not be called a contribution to charity. It is very poor business !or local people to give three dollars to get but one dollar.

The editor of the Rockville Tribune can never forgive the people for refusing to be as poor and miserable as he declares them to be. He takes it as a personal Insult to himself when they exhibit evidence of being prosperous, when he says they are not. Like Banquo's ghost, however, he will not down. He has said they are suffering, and suffering they must be. Commenting on The Mall's remark that the people had "rushed" for the new war bonds, he indulges in the following: "The 'rush' was so crushing that we have heard of numerous instances of working men being crippled for life in the scramble. Here in Rockville several legs and arms were broken. All the day laborers and mechanics who were strong enough to get to the place where the bonds were sold, however, secured a bushel or two each, and are now engaged in clipping the coupons." This is "sarkasm," in its purest form.

Alvin MI ftiggins, of tblsfilty, announced himself this week as a candidate for the Republican nomination for clerk of the supreme court, one of the most responsible positions in the gift of the people of Indiana. He had been enthusiastically endorsed by the Indiana League of Repute lican clubs as a candidate for the presidency of the National League at the Omaha meetiug next month, but he has withdrawn from that contest and will devote his time and energy to the race before the state convention, which meets some time in August. Mr. Higglns, who is one of the best known and most capable attorneys at the local bar, has been, ever since locating in this city, in 1887, actively identified with the work of the Republican party. He was active in the organization of the McKlnley Club, was its president during one of its most successful years, was manager for the old Eighth district for the State Llucoln league. and was for two years president of the Indiana League of Republican Clubs, during which he rendered most efficient service for the party, ami made the record of the league a most notable one. His incumbency of that office, and the time he has devoted to its work, have given him a wide acquaintance over the state, and it is safe to say that no candidate for a state office ever began a caVnpaign of the state with more close personal friends, or under more favorable auspices. He is a bundle of tireless energy, and the other candidates will have to attend strictly to business unless they desire to be beaten by this hustling young Terre Haute man, who will have the united support of his home county, and for whom most enthusiastic work will be done.

JohnG. MeNutt, of this city, was nominated by acclamation for attorney general of the state at the Democratic state convention at Indianapolis this week. It was a deserved tribute to his excellent campaign of the state two years ago, when, despite the fact that he ran far ahead of his ticket, he went down to defeat with the rest of it in the Republican landslide of that year. He is a capable young man, and his standing at the bar is most flattering. There is scarcely a caste of importance in which he is not engaged, which is in itself evidence of his ability and standing. While always an active Democrat, he is not the kind of a politician what makes himself offensive to his opponents, and it is safe to say, that in spite of the fact that man has to take nearly a day off if he wants to scratch his state ticket, that Mr. MeNutt will receive many votes from his Republican townsmen. friends and neighbors.

It is said that there will be some Interesting developements In the street railway matter within the next sixty days. Many person* have wondered why Judge Jump «hould give up his position as receiver of the company to become a candidate for judge of the superior court, and it la said

by those who profess to know that be did his father objected. Recently the boy so because he realised that a crisis was at went to Cincinnati on an excaratoo, and hand In the affair* of that organixatiou. jdid not return when the excursion time According to Ws informant the was up. A few days later his father reoriglna) bondholder*, who hold bonds to fcelved a letter froor him dated Cincinnati. the amount of ttiXMloa, will bring proceed- stating that he bad enlinted

and bring about the sale of the property. It is claimed that these proceedings will take place before election, and the receiver will therefore be out of a job. Judge Jump, who has made a capable receiver, and managed the affairs of the company In a most economical manner, realized this, according to the report, and would therefore prefer to be a candidate now than to wait four years to get a chance at the same office.

According to this story, if the foreclosure proceedings are not brought, and in the event of Jndge Jump's election as superior judge, Allen H. Donham, expostmaster, is booked for the position of receiver to succeed Judge Jump.

From the evidences of shooting skill developed by our policemen in the target practice at the ball park, about the safest thing for a criminal to do if he wants to escape, is to invite a shot from an officer. From all indications they couldn't hit a flock of barns at a hundred yards. They shoot like the Spaniards.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

A Notable Celebration at the Fair Grounds on the Country's Natal Day.

Every indication points to a most successful celebration of the Fourth of July at the Fair Grounds under the auspices of the Vigo Agricultural society. In the afternoon there will be an exhibition drill by Terre Haute Co. 8, Uniform Rank, three bicycle races, for prizes aggregating $150, three horse races, a balloon ascension and parachute leap by Prof. Woodall, a cake walk under the direction of the champion of Indiana, Frank Tuller, dancing in the art hall, and various other features of equal interest. In the evening there will be given the finest display of fire works ever witnessed in this city. Over a ton of fire works has been ordered and the designs are very Qovel, including portrait in the sky of Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manilla, and a representation of that battle. All together the programme is of great interest, and there should be large crowds the$e on that day. The afternoon admission vylll be ten cents, the same the admissionat night.

TRINIDAD DE OUBA.

VALLEY OF THE HOLY TRINITX* VV' .-{!- -!M' Americans Who Have Made Great

Fortunes in Cuba—Profitable IBT vestments in Sufcar-Lands angl Mining Property., Special Correspondence of The Mall.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 21.—Oti of Cuba, one hears little about the val$ej%£ Trinidad yet it is the very garden-spot tJjf the island—not only for extraordinary beauty, fertility and perfection of climate, but is the place, par excellence, for groWr ing coffee and sugar. I have been but cannot say with how much truth, the English and American syndicates

have secured rich concessions in the valla are keeping their operations as secret possible, to avoid competition.

Trinidad city lies at the seaward edge the valley of the same name, on the south shore of Santa Clara province, about fifty miles east from Cienfuegos. Yon may reach it from Havana going all the way around by water or by railway to Cienfuegos and thence by steamer, or as I did, by rail to Batabano, the southern port of Havana province, and then on a leisurely cruise of 150 miles among Innumerable cays and islets. At any rate, you are certain to approach the region of the Holy Trinity by sea, as there is no all-land route from other parts of the island, except dangerous trails over robber-infested mountains. ^s-

The first view of the old town, "which Don Deigo de Velazquez christened*^ early as 1515, is something to be remembered. Having rounded LaPunta de io& Negros, the long, narrow point of land which defines Trinidad bay on the southwest, you see a white-walled city, glisten* ing in the golden light, cuddled up on the mountain side, like a babe asleep on its mother's bosom. Quite appropriately, Trinidad has a trinity of ports. They are LaBoca, on the southeast, where the Tayado river empties into the sea the mouth of the Rio Mtise and Casilda, a small village at the head41 an inlet. The last named 'port is now generally used, although its anchorage is not of the best, the water being so shallow that all vessels must be loa^/ed by i^eans of lighters ^uttcseaMqnieklyu iftfr' the VJ 'tifeve

medepi*®6 harbor,1

which runs riotth twentyV^Jooj|"Dg solconnecting sfiyetal villages and brl the product of ridh plantations down for shipment'. TrinidSd city is' three miles inland—or perhaps we should say upland— from Casilda. As the trains do not run on schedule time, but only when there are full loads of freight to-be carried—you will do well to avoid a tedious time of waiting in the hot, flea-infested port, by being driven in a volante although the charge therefor is 12.50, while the cars would take you for twenty cents.

Trinidad is one of the oldest towns in Cuba, founded only a year later than Santiago, and 19 years after Santa Domingo, the first on the western hemisphere. Taough so little is heard of it nowadays, the region is not without its stirring and romantic history. Trinidad bay is tbe famous battle-ground of the three British men-of-war against the Spaniards under Don Luis Bassecourt, in which the English were worsted, after three days of hard fighting. Perhaps the most destructive attack on Trinidad city was that of the English corsair Grant, in 1702. Through two long centuries it suffered almost continually from piratical attacks, and many bloody traditions are connected with the place. Indeed, it is said that the wealthiest families hereabouts are descendantsof the old sea-rbbbers who turned respectable when piracy went out of fashion. They bought land and built casas with their ill-gotten gains, gave a lot of money to the church for absolution, and became substantial, law-abiding citizens.

One who does not mind hard climbing finds Trinidad the most charming place in the world, with views on every hand which would drive an artist wild with enthusiasm. Rambling and hilly, with antique casas and palm-shaded gardens, the old town clings to the tide of Vijia ("Witch Tower") mountain, six hundred feet above the Caribbean. Exposed to both mountain and ocean breezes, with neither excessive heat nor cold from year to year, its climate Is about the most perfect under the sun. Surely this is the heart of that "land wherein it Is always afternoon!" Everybody seems to sleep through the hours of sunshine. In a long walk at midday, through the town of 80,000 Inhabitants, you meet only here and there a laxy donkey or a sleeping dog, not a human being except at rare intervals a barefooted servant shuffling along the shady side of a wall. The only drawback to the place Is its loneliness, and the feeling which possesses the foreigner of complete isolation from his kind. There are several mesones and third-class but yon are not obliged to stay in them long, especially If you have letters of introducHon. The citizens are proverbially hospitable, and to them the visit of a foreigner, bringing a fresh breath from the faraway world, to a godsend.

The street* rf Trinidad are narrow as the narrowest In Spanish-America aad mostly unpaved but extremely picturesque. with their low walled, rough tiled house* and high-aoonding names the doors. As In Havana, the streets are a realisation of

private In dream of a nniversal umbrella

stretched across, affording complete shelter from sun and rain. In the aristocratic quarters the houses are mostly •built of stone, and some of them are imposing, with arched entrances and much bestuccoed facades resembling carved marble. They differ from those in Havana in not having any divided walls between the rooms, only the kitchen and sleeping apartments being partitioned to the ceiling. The rest area series of open archesvast, high ceiling expanses, affording free .circulation of air and magnificent perspectives of marble floors, rich frescoes, mirrored panels and tasteful furnishings. One bf the finest houses in the town, if not in the whole island, is owned by an American citizen, Mr. Baker by name, but here rendered Senor Bah-quare. Perhaps the handsomest country home in the valley, is owned by Mr. Stiilwell, aNew Englander, who has a large plantation and lives like a prince. The war has not yet affected this partofCuKa to any appreciable extant, and when I visited the place a few weeks ago, things crere going on just as uiual. Nothing short of Shatter's and Sftmpson's guns can wake the Trinladadians up to a realizing sense of the true situation. They talk in a sleepy way of Apolitical troubles in the Island," but as of something which does not concern them |k their Arcadian retreat. The nearest approach to life and gaiety in Trinidad is seen on Sunday and Thursday evenings when the "retreta" takes place in the plaza Carillo. The big square ih the center of the town, opposite the governor's residence, is a beautiful place and. differs in some respects from any others I have seen. In the middle is a large, dome-like arbor, from which stone walks radiate, bordered by flower-beds and shaded by ornamental shrubbery. Around the outskirts of the park extends a broad, stone "Pasco," or promenade, separated from the main garden by a fanciful iron railing, and from the street by a low stone coping— a profusion of gas lamps affords brilliant illumination, and have a beautiful effect at night amid the dense green foliage. 7 The Campo del Matre is another fine, large plaza- at the southeast end of the "town, with barracks and drill grounds for the garrison. But the mo$t attriM^ive re^ sort of the place is."what is ktiown jis the •jlaj^atch T?oWer) a point pjtt the aduntain whlcfi m&y Jfc' easily

Jin vain. Speaking of American capitalists in this region, time was—and time will be again—when a well located sugar estate in Cuba was considered as safe and valuable an investment as one could possibly have. Of course the war has greatly depreciated values, but when It is over things will be booming in "the ever faithful isle" as never before. Everybody knows how, during our civil war, sugar attained a phenomenal price in the United States, the best grades reaching twenty cents a pound. This circumstance induced Wm. H. Stewart, the New York millionaire, to purchase the magnificent estate called "La Carolina," in Metanzas province. Its annual yield was about eight million pounds of fine white sugar. He paid eight hundred thousand dollars in gold for the property, and for years it returned to him at least 100 per cent on the original investment. In '62 Moses Taylor, another very rich and influential New Yorker, who had been a large importer of Cuban sugar, purchased a half interest in the famous "San Martine" plantation. It was just the size of the District of Columbia (ten miles square), and was superbly equipped, having a fine old castellated mansion of stone for a family residence. What Mr. Taylor paid for his half was never known but for years the crop was simply marvelous, reaching for one season 13,965,000 pounds. It was said at the time that Taylor received back his purchase money in less than two years.

The great firm of Ojeiro, Warburg and Co., of New York, is a heavy owner of sugar property in Santa Clara province. The Welshes, sugar refiners of Philadelphia, are also owners of large Cuban estates. It will be remembered that when President Grant named the eldest of the Welsh brothers to be minister to England, his confirmation was strongly objected to by a faction in the Senate, on the ground that he waa the owner of slave-worked estates and profited by their labor. Just after our war, Mr. James McHatton, of: East Baton Rouge parish. La., went to Cuba in search of a plantation which limited nn«n« could buy. He found It, near Mftfinrinff—2,000 acres, of the light colored •oil which in Cuba is called "Mulatto land," and which had been worked so long solely in sugar cane that It would yield less than half a crop. At the upper end of the estate Mr. McHatton found a of deep eaves, which if ever discovered before, had been entirely forgotten and these made his fortune. For ages: millions of bats had made this their haunt and time and natures chemistry had converted their droppings Into the best fertilizer for worn-out sugar and tobacco M» yet known. Within three years the McHatton place was turn-

Special Correspondence of Thc^Mail. CAMP RUSSELL A. ALGKR, June 19.— Sunday is being observed by the OneHundred and Fifty-Ninth in a quiet manner. No drills. The only ceremonies being the grand march at 1:80 p. m. and dress parade at 6:80 with the usual religious services during the day conducted by our able chaplain, Mr. Weaver.

The prospect of moving is being generally discussed and the latest reports taken In connection with the action of the officers and the orders which have been Issued lead to a belief that the start will be made within a short time. For two waeks past It has been understood that the One-Hundred-and-Fifty-Ninth would be moved to Fernandina, Florida. The boys are all anxious to get away from here and to the front.

Assistant sun W. S. Davis and his assistants aL~»- regimental hospital are a busy set these days. There is a noticeable increase In the nttmber who answer sick calls each morning and while only a few can be considered In any way serious. The large number, however, answering the calls daily only demonstrates the fact that we are encamped in an unhealthy locality. Private Vice, of Co. B., was taken to the hospital to-day. Private Oscar Leek is rapidly recovering and will be all O. K. in a few days, -r

In the future there will be Brigade marches each week. The men will commence on Monday, and will throw out both front and rearguards, as though passing through an enemy's country. They have received permission from the propertyholders of the surrounding country to pass through their places, and will march on a line due north until they strike the Potomac River, where they will take a bath and camp for the night, taking another bath in the mornlngand returning home the next day. Complete maps of the country have been drawn by men detailed from the regiments, and. everything is in readiness for the initiatory move. The order which covers the march is as follows: "In order to exetpplifjrptlie^ different '.movements in the ipanofl of inl|antrj$i .tactic* and for the m^rpose of lnatruotioii tn advancing and*

"The men will be in heavy marching order, carrying shelter tents and one day'ji. cooked rations, the time for marching, tp be so regulated that the command will reach its destination in ample time to establish camp and finish- baths before night, returning the following morning to their permanent camp. "These marches will be conducted as laid down in the text book, as if in the enemy's country, so far as is practicable without trespassing upon or injury to private property, with advance and rear guards and flankers. "Outposts will be established at night. Attentions as to details is invited to Wagner's service of security and information, and troops in campaigns. Reports of these marches will be made for the information of the corps commander. Department -commanders are charged with the execution of this command".

Your correspondent in company with Capt. Biegler spent several days in Washington last week on business and we incidentally "blew ourselves for several square meals." The clerk at the hotel inquired of the captain if he wanted a room with two beds in it. He told him it was immaterial to either of us as we preferred to sleep on the floor. I guess the fellow thought we were in earnest from the expression in his face.

Early the next morning I was awakened by the captain who was sitting np in the bkl calling out "never mind the guard." The captain came off duty as officer of the day the afternoon we started for Washington and I suppose-he was dreaming of the gaurd.

Every person that can possibly do so should go to Washington if for no other purpose than to see the "congressional library." It is certainly a triumph of builders' art, being beyond description For magnificence It has no equal in the world.

The society at the camp has been augmented within the past week by the arrival of the wives of many of the officers. The grounds are visited each day by members of the officers' families, who have come in many Instances hundreds of miles.

Congressman 6. W. Faris was a welcome visitor last week. The boys all look forward to his coming with anticipated pleasure* IfL

Lieutenant Powers, adjutant of the first battallion, has resigned on account of ill health, and returned to his home In BraziL From present indications Sergeant Major D. Slocum will succeed Lieutenant Powers.

I went over to Falls Church last week, and the driver of the loose-jointed Virginia hack in which I rode waa one of thorn large-beaded boys that you run across in this section. He engaged me in conversation and finally asked me where I came from. I told him from Indiana.

He then wanted to know if it waa aa large a town aa Washington. I felt sorry for this ignorant boy until later on, while {Mating afield In which tome small Jersey leoamMntad on the

During the visit of Governor Hastings to the Sixth Pennsylvania on Wednesday one of the enthusiasts, who was on guard duty that day, instead of calling out the guard, yelled: "Call out the push here comes the main guy." For this familiarity he was fi$ed and given thirty days at hard labori/ 1

Captain Biegler has reoeived from the^ Terre Haute Brewing Co. twelve hundred match boxes, which he distributed among the members of the regiment. The Hg-: gett & Myers Tobacco Co., of St. Louis, also distributed a ten-cent plug of their Star tobaeco to the users of the weed.-v-Next!

Major T. C. Stunkard, who has assumed^, charge of the newly-organized division hospital, has under his care the health of over 10,000 men.

Bright, new duck uniforms will be Issaed in a few days to the One Hundred and Fifty-ninth. The boys are anxiously^: awaiting the arrival of theea uniforms.

Bunker Hill Day was appropriately ob*^ served by the Eighth and Sixth Massachusetts regiments, Friday, June 17th.

Captain Coleman, of New Albany, was presented with a handsome Inlaid sword by the New Albany lodge of Elks, of which organization Captain Coleman is a prominent member, and Is well known to a number of Terre Haute Elks.
